Broken Fever

Scene, Heard
After months of swearing she loved playing in Darlington--and hey, no reason to think she didn't--Spyche has left the band to "pursue her own projects," according to the press release sent out by Last Beat Records. She has been replaced, for the time being, by Omar. In other band-departure news, Alan Hayslip--a man for whom the word "journeyman" was created, and we mean this in the most complimentary of ways, swear to God--has departed Floor Thirteen over what he refers to as "procedural differences." We have no idea what this means, but it sounds vaguely painful.
